What spare parts do you keep in your garage?

[Apex]

Just curious what everyone keeps handy. I know we (most of us) have tools, maintenance fluids (like chain lube) and stuff like that. Some of us even have bike jacks, but what else do you always have handy?

- Amsoil 10w40
- Some DOT4 racing brake fluid
- Chain
- Oil filter
- Oil screen gasket
- Oil Filter O-ring


I need to get a new chain in my stock, as well as brake pads and oil screen gasket.

Did I leave anything out that is good to have on hand?

Ummm... all the stuff I've taken off the bike.... lol

Stock seat (got a cowl now)
Stock windshield (ZG Double Bubble)
Stock rear footpegs and hangers (AP hanger)
Stock rear fender (Jardine fender eliminator)...

... with more to come eventually

Seriously, I've got on hand:

-Oil drain plug crush washers (I use each one twice by flipping it over, then it gets discarded), size M12 aluminum
-Head and tail light bulbs (I need to get some turn signal bulbs... haven't gotten around to it)
-Oil/filter/gaskets for the next oil change (don't forget that the oil filter cover takes TWO O-rings, not just one, and they should come with the new filter, unless the "oil screen gasket" you're talking about is actually the second, smaller O-ring)
-Misc. metric bolts and washers... (stainless steel). Most of the ones that you're messing with all the time are M5, with a few M6 thrown in for good measure.
-M5 rubber well nuts, which stiffen up and tear WAY too easily (desmoparts.com)

I don't keep long-life items like brake pads, chain or even brake fluid on hand as a rule. I'll buy 'em when I need 'em. The stuff I keep on hand is stuff I'm likely to need at a moment's notice.
